"Russian Bloggers Rally Behind Wagner Leader in Live Updates of Ukraine-Russia War"

Pro-Moscow military bloggers are criticizing the Kremlin for attempting to rewrite the history of the Wagner private military company (PMC) and its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin. The Russian state TV channel Rossiya-1 aired a segment downplaying the effectiveness of the Wagner Group in Ukraine, likely as part of a campaign to decrease the group's popularity. The Russian Defense Ministry is also reportedly trying to disband Wagner troops and integrate them into the Russian military. Meanwhile, Poland plans to reinforce its border with Belarus with 500 troops due to tensions arising from the arrival of Wagner mercenaries and nuclear arms. In other news, the International Air and Space Show (MAKS) in Russia has been canceled, possibly due to security concerns, and Belarus tennis player Aryna Sabalenka refuses to discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
